We recommend zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.040 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material will contaminate your printer and could void your warranty. • If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3‑mm (0.125‑in.) strip should be removed on the leading and driver edge, and a non‑oozing adhesive should be used. • Remove a 3‑mm (0.125‑in.) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the printer.

Card stock and label guidelines
Use only materials recommended for use with laser printers.
To prevent specialty media sheets from sticking together, remove each sheet from the output bin as it is printed.
When printing on labels:
•
Set the Paper Type to Labels from the printer driver.
•
Use standard
‑
size products (either A4 or Letter).
•
Do
not
use label sheets with a slick backing material.
•
Do
not
print within 1 mm (0.040 in.) of the die-cut.
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Partial
sheets will also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void your printer and cartridge
warranties.
•
Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 180°C (356°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
•
Verify that your label adhesive material can tolerate a fusing temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 second.
•
Use labels that can withstand pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).
•
Do
not
print within 1 mm (0.040 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.
•
Do
not
use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone coating of the adhesive
at least 1 mm (0.040 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material will contaminate your printer and could void your
warranty.
•
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3
‑
mm (0.125
‑
in.) strip should be removed on the leading and driver
edge, and a non
‑
oozing adhesive should be used.
•
Remove a 3
‑
mm (0.125
‑
in.) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the printer.
